Sheahan’s arrest made far more noise because he was dressed like Tinky Winky instead of who he is, although that is another tentacle to this story. Sheahan was found to have teammate Brendan Smith's ID, but charges of driving the wrong way and using a fake ID were dropped. Sheahan twice blew .30 on a breathalyzer test after being brought to jail.

In pleading guilty, Sheahan will be on probation for 12 months and must pay a $1,325 fine, work 49 hours on a work crew and take a class. In addition, Sheahan’s license has been suspended for a year, though he is eligible to drive after 45 days if he uses an ignition interlock device, MLive.com reported.

Red Wings assistant GM recently said of Sheahan, "He's getting help right now and will continue to get help.”
